The McCarthy Chronicles: Cowboys offense struggles vs Panthers for one interesting reason

By all accounts, the Cowboys offense was just okay this week in their 33-10 win over the Panthers. They scored touchdowns on three of their nine drives, with field goals on two other drives, and they significantly outgained the Panthers.

That said, it felt like a letdown given this offense’s recent performances. Dak Prescott, who had averaged 338 yards on a 72.1% completion rate the last four games, finished with just 189 yards while hitting 65.8% of his passes. CeeDee Lamb had just six catches for 38 yards, with only nine targets. They also earned five first downs via defensive penalties, with four of them coming on third down.
